Horror Posters Google Search

Recently i have been looking on google images at horror film titles, and what they have in common. I spent half an hour scrolling through posters and of the 29 posters in the screenshot to the left, 22 of these all have the same title placings and although they differ slightly from one to another, they are all generally the same. By looking at most of the successful horror films, i am able to see that this is an effective way to template our film. Because of the layout our target audience should be able to tell what genre it is when mixed with certain colour pallets.   Most of the horror film posters all seemed to have one generic layout. After scrolling and searching I was able to design the most generic poster template based on the thousands of film posters readily available on google images. All of  the posters i found online also have been edited through a type of Photoshop. The editing used helps to make the colours darker and can also make the horror poster a more fearful feel. Using a dark shade of blue can add a sense of loneliness to the picture which helps to connote the danger characters can be in. However, white is another colour that is used frequently in horror posters. White connotes the innocent nature and used in horror connotes the ruining of innocence. To make our film poster effective for our target audience we should follow the conventions shown on the horror film posters, for example, the dark colours and the layout and struture of horror posters.
